Chapter 246 Do Whatever You Want
"Xiaomu, Xixi, let's go." Ye Li put some sweet potatoes and potatoes into the bags carried by Xiaomu and Xixi, then carried the remaining staple food with great effort and walked home together.
The two guys distributing food watched Ye Li leave and whispered, "This woman is not easy to deal with. When it comes to reasoning, we can't even refute her."
"We can't do anything to her, but the Second Elder will certainly have a way." Another person said, "The game we hunted a few days ago will be divided in the square tomorrow. Then the Second Elder will have a way to deal with her."
…
"Ye Li." Xiao Wei ran to Ye Li's house early in the morning, carrying a large bamboo basket. She walked into the house happily and said, "Hurry up! We're going to divide the prey in the square today. If you're late, you won't get any good results."
"I heard. We'll be there soon." Ye Li was tying Xixi's hair while she was having breakfast. She had excellent skills and in a blink of an eye, she had combed her hair into two small buns, making Xixi look even cuter than usual.
Xiaomu and Xixi held their bowls and gulped down the porridge. Then they quickly took their respective bamboo baskets and urged, "Let's go."
Ye Li smiled, took a large bamboo basket, locked the door, and set off with the children.
When we arrived at the square, it was already packed with people.
There were three queues in one row. Ye Li, Xiao Wei and others quickly stood in the shortest queue.
"Li Zi." Not far away, Xiao Xun raised his uninjured hand and waved to Ye Li.
Ye Li immediately raised his hand, smiled and waved back.
Xiao Wei looked over and raised an eyebrow. "Xiao Xun is already injured, and he still comes here to receive this?"
"Those who come get a share, and those who don't come naturally have no share. He will come of course." Ye Li said with a smile. Last night, Xiao Xun had already agreed to come to the square to divide the prey, so that she could give it to him when the time comes. One more share wouldn't make much difference.
That’s right. Today almost all the people in the tribe came out, filling up the entire square. Everyone brought back enough prey, so they can have a rich new year.
The team moved forward slowly. Ye Li and her friends waited in line for a full half hour before it was their turn.
"There are three people in our family." Ye Li pulled the child closer and said.
The man who was counting smiled, then turned around and picked up two pheasants and a piece of rabbit and threw them to Ye Li.
"Here, take it and go."
Ye Li frowned and asked, "Why don't we have venison and wild boar meat? I saw others got some."
"This was ordered by the higher-ups. Why are you complaining so much? You own this forest tribe? Are we supposed to satisfy all your wishes? Are you so special?" The person counting the money waved his hands impatiently and said, "Just take it and leave. Why are you so nagging?"
Ye Li was furious. She stood still and said, "When did I ask for anything special? All I want is fairness. Even if we have a small family, you could give us a smaller portion. How can you not give us anything at all? Everyone knows that venison and wild boar meat are rare, only seen once a year. Why are you trying to withhold some so you can divide it up among yourself?"
There was a quarrel at the front of the team, and everyone looked up. It turned out that Ye Li, a big celebrity in the tribe, was quarreling with the guy who was storing grain in the warehouse. What was going on?
"Don't be so unreasonable!" the counting boy said, "I have a basis for what I say. Don't take advantage of your status as a big shot with the Great Elder to do whatever you want. This forest tribe belongs to everyone, not just you."
